Fragments of larval Xenopus laevis dorsal iris implanted together with the pituitary into the tail fin transdifferentiate into neural retina. On the contrary, in the control experiments the implanted tissues, dorsal iris alone, pituitary, or dorsal iris with liver fragments, do not undergo any retinal transformation.
将非洲爪蟾幼体的背侧虹膜碎片与垂体一起植入尾鳍后,会转分化为神经视网膜。相反,在对照实验中,单独植入的背侧虹膜组织、垂体,或与肝碎片一起植入的背侧虹膜,均未发生任何视网膜转化。
